Steam has been consistently hosting discount events focused on specific genres. This time, the spotlight falls on the 'political simulation' genre.

The Steam Political Simulation Fest runs for one week, from 2:00 AM on September 9 to 2:00 AM on September 16 (KST). While the full list of discounted titles has not yet been revealed, it is expected that many games tagged with 'political simulation' on Steam will be included in the sale.

Political simulation games allow players to simulate government and political systems at a national or local level. These games include activities such as establishing foreign policy, managing domestic politics, and running election campaigns. Unlike typical war games, they often exclude or abstract away military elements and action-oriented gameplay. Players take on the role of a national leader, urban planner, or administrator of a social system, making various political and social decisions.

Representative political simulation games range from grand strategy titles covering medieval to modern history like the 'Crusader Kings' and 'Victoria' series, to the dictatorial city-building of 'Tropico', the intrigue and surveillance themes of the 'Orwell' series, and the tragic choices found in 'Suzerain'. Other notable titles include 'Age of History', 'Age of Conflict', 'Fantasy Map Simulator', 'LogiVerse', and 'The Political Process'.
